Soul At The Church

Fabulous Small room with polished dancfloor, seats probably 60, holds 120-30 max, low ceiling, great accoustics and a condusive atmosphere, always full of friendly, smiley faces...and always up for a good dance...probably Shropshire's best kept secret when it comes to a night out soulin'

The venue is set in a decommissioned church that belongs to the Freemasons guild.

Competitive bar prices and standard admission for an 8-12:30am finish

Hopefully our shropshire Soulies are getting theirselves geared up for this, a week saturday?, been a bit quiet of recent on account of a spate of weekenders, no different this time with the Flyde Coast the centre of attraction for those wanting the extended function.

However, the whole of the uk cant attend in which case for all those who've missed out previously for one unfortunate reason or another...June 18th is your chance for atonement!.

One thing the gig aint, is homage to production line of bog standard oldies...guaranteed to hear plenty of different stuff...a great sermon from Russ & Mark....and the guests always bring something new ti the turntables.

Spacious parking here, i forgot to mention and for stopovers, there are plenty of hotel establishments within 5-10 minutes of the venue.

Not town centre, this place, but reached within 10-15 mins from: A5 - A53 - M54 ( J7 ) & A49.

Whether youre from Wrexham, Chester, Oswestry, Telford, Wolverhampton etc, come and have a great night out at the church and SANCTIFY YOUR SOUL!

The two guys who've run this popular function, so successfully over the years: Russ Reeves and Mark Downing...got great combined musical knowledge between them and record collections to match..plus they always like to get a likeminded guest dj in as well...people who will play from their playboxes and not be formulaic, you get to hear plenty of different stuff at every occasion.

Russ & Mark always have a warm smile and a welcoming shake of hands for all visitors, whether regular or new.

Come and say hello and imsure theyll play something for you that you like.

So much on this weekend, 3 day events accepted, still so much to offer though for people who just want a night out, enjoying a few tunes, a dance, socializing with friends and the ambience. This place is a sponge for soaking up atmosphere!.

Shrewsbury has always been the county's capital of Soul, plenty of well known venues over the decades, and the Church joins a long tradition...great acvoustics in this room where the sound isnt lost and yhere no feedback to endure.

If you still havrnt made your mind up, you'll little better, if not at all, on offer in Shropshire this Saturday so, do yourself a favour and get to where the good times roll...a sermon full of soul at the Church...amen to that!!

Wow!, weather forecast for this weekend in the capital: 29°  3 days to lift off and its " 3-2-1, here it come "

Classic stompers like these, true to what the scene is about, sounds as fresh as ever

Last call, to all out there still pondering what to do....this is the only advertised function in Shropshire this weekend ( on here anyway ), and Shrewbury itself is a fabulous tourist attraction!...Darwin's birthplace, a town with an abbey and a castle, high and low towns, fabulous hotels, pubs, bars, restaurants, cafe's, a fantastic indoor market, pleasure boat cruises on the river Severn....lots of great independant shops too as well as the Pride Hill and Darwin shopping centres.

Northern Soul is no stranger to the town either as past venues have included the Lord Hill and Lion Hotels respectively.

Russ does regular Sunday afternoon soul & motown sessions at Ashley's as well, smack bang in the centre of town.

Shrewsbury is just a great place to stay, a wonderful vibe and spirit.....thatll be on display tonight at...The Church.

Come and have a great day out and a top notch evening too!, see you ALL, in a few hours time
